What To Expect
The tour will take approximately two hours depending on your pace. Just pause the audio guide whenever you fancy spending longer at a sight, grabbing a bite to eat or doing some shopping along the way.
Make your way to the Upper Barrakka Gardens to begin your tour. There are many great sights to see in Valletta. Here are just a few. Highlight One: St John's Co-Cathedral is one of the largest and most spectacular churches in all of Europe. Highlight Two: The Piazza Regina is one of Malta’s most spectacular public urban spaces with beautiful historic buildings and a mass of pigeons. Highlight Three: The Teatru Manoel ranks among the oldest theatres in Europe. Every seat has a good view and the acoustics are excellent. Highlight Four: A visit to Nenu the Artisan Baker is a must for any visitor. Nenu uses local ingredients and a hundred year old stone oven to make traditional Maltese bread usually eaten with a variety of fillings. This is just a taste of what you’ll experience on this tour but there are plenty more attractions to be seen and stories to be heard along the way. The tour will conclude at the Lower Barrakka Gardens.
